Lamella Clarifier

Lamella Clarifier is used for serving of flocculated raw water treatment plants. The system consist square tank with inclined plates or tube packs on the top portion. In a lamella clarifier the se ng takes place on the media surface and the effective sec ng area is equal to the media surface area.

Advantage of lamella clarifiers are :

Lamella clarifiers are significantly more compact than their conventional counterparts and hence amenable to a pre-feb package design.

As steep hoppers are provided sludge removal is possible without the aid of mechanical scrapers. As no, mechanical equipment is needed these systems are maintenance free.

As sludge slides down the lamella plants in to the underlying hopper, parts of the bound water in the sludge is released thereby reducing the water content of the sludge.

Eddy currents and solids carry over due to win effects are eliminated as lamella plates arrest wind penetration.
